Here he explains his revelation of what was meant by "motley" clothing. "The disclosure carries significant implications - the contemporary connotations of the dress, Shakespeare's view of his motley fools, his introduction and development of the role, the indispensable influence of the character and gifts of his fellow-player Armin - together with new light on Lear's Fool, on Hamlet's 'antic disposition,' and on Shakespeare himself as 'a motley to the view'."
